Miss Arrows* Speaks
On International Contacts

kliaa Mary Noel Arrowsmith
spoke at convocation last Thursday
on "International Studenta Con-
tacta aa a Better International Un-
derstanding." . She said that one's
viewa help nuke up thai powerful
factor, public opinion, and made the
point that one . should think intel-
ligently about foreign affairs, and
not let one's prejudices interfere.
"Don't, let small incidents' guide
your judgment of people*, but ap-
preciate other nationalities," said
Miss Arrowsmith, . *•«

Then Kith Arrowsmith pointed
out the value of knowing foreign,
erg' ghd their countries. Here the
International Student contacte are
Important "substitute knowledge for
prejudice." The exchange of
dents helps give this much needed
knowledge of) other lands . Every
one should grasp any opportunity
to meet foreigners, and not let In
dluenences influence him.

'thcr asset to Internationalism
is European travel, Miss Arrowsmith
"Now there are various, chan-
cel lo travel In summer end meet
students abroad. If uny opportunity
come* your way, s.ite It."

STAFF GOES ON -VACATION.

With a combined feeling of relief ami regret, the staff put*
furth the last edition ..f the NEWS for this year.

We look upon our paper with n grrat deal of pride, and
feel our responsibility in being entrusted with its second year's
growth. We feel it has been a great step among other step*
which Sweet Briar has made this year toward the broadening
of her interest*.

For next year we have great confidence in our bejng able
to help the NEWS grow up still further.. When Ihc staff gets
into smooth running condition next year, if there is material
as well as mental cooperation among, those at Sweet IlrW. and
if there is interest, in the line "f criticism and new ideos among
the alumnae and other siil> eribers, we see no rcascQ. why the
SWEET BRIAR NEWS will not be able to still better repre-
sent our college and be even more of nri n*»et.
